With the manufacture of this banknote, Banco de México recognizes the work of Don Rodrigo Gómez y Gómez, Director of the Mexican Central Bank from December 1952 to August 14, 1970, and founder of the Banknote Factory.

The front shows the bust of engineer Fausto Urencio, one of the founders of Banco de México Banknote Factory. Complementary motifs on the front of this banknote are various pre-Hispanic themes, which are also shown on the back.

With an unusual vertical design, this specimen shows, on the front, a view of Banco de México´s Legaria Complex, with the facade of the Banknote Factory in the foreground and the Cashier´s building in the background; at the same time, inscriptions and the logotype of the Banknote Factory are shown. On the back, in a spiral, the evolution of payment media in Mexico is represented: from cacao to the more recent note issues printed by the Banknote Factory itself; in the center of the spiral, a detail of the first banknote printed by the Factory can be seen.

This is the least ornate specimen in the series, and at the same time, the one which was least minted. Its front shows the Banco de México Banknote Factory main building.
